There are five major categories in WRM

1. Drilling new well or new side-track

2. Workover on existing wells

3. Changing flowrate on existing wells

4. Changing the temperature and composition of injection fluid

5. Changing the surface infrastructure to avail fluent gathering of subsurface production

This leads to the four major asset challenges:

1. Where to drill the new well or side-track and how to complete it ?

2. Which wells to workover and how ?

3. Which wells to change the flow rate and whether increase or decrease ?

4. What fluid to inject ?

6. If there is a bottle neck in surface infrastructure and whether it needs update ?

The answers to these questions are provided by playing the various scenarios over the calibrated full-field flow model.
